Shahid Kapoor is on cloud nine ever since he came to know that he is about to become a father. And it was for everyone to see. Don't you remember how he announced his wife's pregnancy in public and said "Haan Main Baap Banne Waalaa hoon...".
And, ever since after that he's taking extra care to keep his wife Mira happy and ensure that she has a smooth pregnancy. From accompanying him during hospital visits to making the house baby proof, Shahid has been quite the doting husband and has been by his wife's side throughout her pregnancy, despite his busy schedule.
The father-to-be took to Instagram yesterday to post an adorable picture of wife Mira and her cute little baby bump. It is visible that the Udta Punjaab actor is desperately awaiting the arrival of his bundle of joy.

Shahid's excitement has also been clearly evident in his media interactions and the actor had stated that he would be taking a full-fledged paternity leave.
“I am taking a full-fledged paternity leave. I was almost 14 when my brother (Ishaan) was born. I was grown up enough to know what my mother went through during her pregnancy. So, I want to be around Mira,” said an excited Shahid in an interview last month.
From the beginning Shahid has been very supportive of wife Mira during her pregnancy and has always mentioned that she is quite young to handle it all by herself. Besides, he also doesn't want to miss out on these special moments.
"She is very young and I think it is not easy. I just want to be with her, around her. Around the time the baby is due, I will not shoot for at least a month. I want to be there in the last few days of the pregnancy. I want to be there when the child arrives and enjoy these moments, as these are feelings you experience perhaps once or twice in a life," he had said.
